How do I stop fly-tipping in my skip?

Fly-tipping is defined as the unauthorised depositing of waste, whether this happens in a field, in a layby or in someone else’s skip – and it always has a victim, in this case, the victim is the person or business that had paid for facilities to dispose responsibly of its waste. We encourage and support people who try to do the right thing, and sometimes this means legal action when the law is broken by others.

Many councils have a zero-tolerance approach to tackling fly-tipping and will prosecute where there is enough evidence and where it is appropriate. The Environmental Rangers investigate any dumped waste found to try to identify the perpetrator(s). However they can’t be everywhere all the time, so do rely on other evidence, including public tip-offs, to help. All approaches will be treated in confidence from your local council.

Do you have any restrictions for Skip hire in Watford?

Many councils have similar rules around where you can and can not put your skip. You can’t put a skip on the pavement and you don’t need a skip licence if you’re putting the skip entirely on private land. You also need to make sure you put safety lights and markings on or around the skip. For example, reflective markings, traffic cones, night-time safety lamps.
